The Higgins Case.

1t is evidently not the purpose Of the ad-
ministration to take any action in the matter
of the attendance Of Higgins and of other
Federal officers upon the Democratic State
Convention in MARYLAND unless some respon-
sible person or persons shall make definite
charges which shall seem to merit attention.
The announcement of the fact that these
Federal officers did participate in the conven-
tion in the newspapers will not be considered
sufficient cause of action.
Secretary FairchIld said today that no COM
plants had been made as to Mr.. Higgins by
the Civil Service Reform Association of Bal
timore, or by any persons or association, and,
so far as he was concerned, he had not lseen
in the newspapers, or heard otherwise, that
Higgins had done anything of which it was
necessary that he (the Secretary of the Trea-
sury) should take official notice. When any
charges are filed Mr.. Fairchild thinks it will
be time enough to decide whether anything
shall be done or not.
1t is said by the Baltimore papers.that it is
quite probable that the Civil Service Reform
Association of that city will finally conclude
not to make any new charges against Mr.
Higgins, being satisfied from their former
effort to secure his removal that they will
not be successful. Senator German had a
long interview with the President yesterday,
but it has not been made possible to ascer
tain whether this Higgins incident was un-
der consideration or not,

Coroner Lancaster taday, which Showed the

WHEAT has made wonderful growth
this fall. In many places through the
county it is five to six inches high, and
will serve as splendid pasture this win
ter. There may be, in the minds of
some, doubt about the advisability
of pasturing wheat during the winter
as, if left OH the ground it will help
materially to prevent freezing out in
case of severe, open winter, and will
also catch and hold the snow from
drifting away and thus increase the
amount of moisture. However, the
fact that the season has been so favor
able to good growth before cold
weather sets in, is one we should con-
gratulate ourselves upon.

of men through Barton county bear
witness to it.

THE funniest thing of all this cam
paign is to see the Tribune in its frenzy
of zeal supporting the republican ticket.
Was there ever anything like 1t?
After giving such good and fatherly ad-
vice to the Ellinwood E9press and Paw
nee Rock Leader in regard to the
blessed lot of an independent paper, to
come out as the most bitter of partizen
sheets seems strong. Yet that is what
the 1Tib,sae has done. 1t Out-herods
Herod, and goes far beyond that
staunch old republican paper, the Reg
lister, in supporting its ticket.

THE president has finished his tour
and is safe in Washington attending to
his official duties. The journey was
without serious accident and devoid of
anything sensational. The president is
a man of business turn of mind and he
planned his journey for the purpose OF
seeing a portion of the country he was
unacquainted with. Well, he has seen
the ''boundless west" and is astonished
at its progress, notwithstanding he was
prepared to see and hear marvellous
things concerning us, our country, our
past history and our future hopes. An
other thing that is very gratifying to
majority of the American people is that
the 'boundless west" seemed as well
pleased with the president as he with
it. In fact there seemed to be mutual
admiration which augurs well for the
president. Wherever he appeared there
seemed to be no lack of enthusiasm.
When the presidential party turned
southwark they found the same warm
welcome awaiting them there as in the
west. He was recognized as the Presi-
dent OF the whole United States and
not of any particular section or party.
In the south he was met with the as
surances of the loyalty of the people.
He found that the New South had for
gotten the prejudices of the old. We
are of the belief that this visit will be
productive of good. 1t will show the
president that aside from the east there
is vast and fertile region known as
the west, and another which is called
the south, and that these two re-
giOns comprise by far the richest and
most progressive portion of this nation.
We regret that this visit could not have
extended across the great state of Kan
sas, and even on to the Pacific slope.
But this was impossible and the presi-
dent must judge the portions of the
west which were unseen by those which
were. That this visit had any political
significance we do not believe. 1t was
simply undertaken for the purpose of
seeing great country of which he
knew little and desired to know more.

THE Iri6soae man is certainly beside
himself in his efforts to make himself
solid with the party to which he has
SO lately returned. He says that when
a man is found to be competent to ill
an Office he ought to be kept there. He
says when private man finds a per-
son whom he has employed competent
he not only retains him but finally
makes him a partner. This is his
argument for Mr.. Dodge. Well, and
now will the Tribune please tell us
when Mr.. Dodge will be taken in as a
an idea that the letter party will re-
pudiate this attempted partnership.
Wait till Tuesday.

THE people of Barton county may
rest assured that Mr.. Strothman is rs
well qualified for Register of Deeds as
Mr.. Dodge. Mr.. Dodge has held the
Office until he is a rich man and now
we insist that there ought to be a
change. The cry that a competent Of
fetal ought to be kept in Office perpet-
ually is the boshiest kind of bosh. If
that were true Washington who was
certainly good and competent presi-
dent would have accepted third term
and so would Jefferson and Jackson.
This thing of keeping man in office
for ever is opposed TO the principles of
our government.

Grand Concert and Supper.

preparing to give grand supper for
the benefit of the citizens band, on
the evening of Nov. 11th, at the
court house. Supper will be served
from 6 to o'clock p. m, after which

ladies have also arranged to give
away some valuable presents to those
who wish to assist the band. They
will waite upon the people and exa
plain the mode of disposing of these
presents, the value of which is some
$50, and we are glad to learn that
they have already received quite a
good deal of encouragement. One Of
the pleasantest evenings of the season
can there be enjoyed, and you should
remember the date.

The Rattlesnake's Eve.

If you examine the eve of a rattle
snake just after it has been killed you
will perceive that it has an extremely
malignant and terrible expression,
says a writer in Forest and Stream.
When he is alive and excited / know
of nothing in all nature of so dreadful
appearance as the eye of the rattle
snake. 1t is enough to strike not only
birds and little animals, but men with
nightmare l have on several occas-
ions examined them closely with strong
glasses and feel,with all the force What
| state, and l will tell you that there
are few men on the face of the earth
who can look upon an angered rattle
snake through good glass-bring-
ing him apparently within a foot or
two of the eye-and stand it more
than d moment

A gentleman who has been a closes

A gentleman who has been closes
observer of the weather for many
years ventures this prediction: The
character of the equinOctial storms in
dicates the character of the seasons
following. This year the equinOctial
perturbations occurred later than
usual, hence the winter will be late
setting in. These storms being waEm
and wet, indicates an open winter.
In other words. the winter will set fn
two or three weeks later than usual,
and will be characterized by fres
quent warm rains. Of course there
will be some cold leather, but this
winter will be less rigorous than the
last. The old citizen who makes this
prediction, promises TO cut this item
out and call the Champions attention
to it next spring to vertify the accur-
acy of his judgement.-Atchison Chas'>-
piOss.
